    cheers for all the nice comments! much much appreciated!

    its really been a big learning curve for me, as when I first started with this car, i didn't even know what a spark plug was! [|)]

    Either way, we all got to start somewhere. I'm hoping this year, is going to be the year of enjoying it!

    This year I'm gonna hit all the shows, most years I decide to do something stupid just in the show season.

    Missed every ed38 due to doing it. missed 2006 one because i put a abf in, missed 2007 one, because i was putting a supercharger in!

    thanks guys.. :thumbup: [>:d<]

    Ben is an illegal immigrant on 50,000 worth of benefits per annum and doesn't have to work, so it's easy for him to achieve all this really.

    lol cheers trev

    thanks :)

    I was meant to start it today, but it didnt happen, as I'm not quite confident enough in my skills with megasquirt, I'd rather start the car whilst having a friend there.... Two minds are better than one, and its important that I get it right.. Anyway.. he's coming over tomorrow...

    neverless still did some work on it today...

    Intercooler mounted

    got my new "bottom" grille from VW

    [​IMG]

    its the 675mm one! so lots of air flow..

    Got my oil catch tank today:

    hopefully its tomorrow.. 2nd time lucky lol.
